Recycled/repurposed stuff ?

So there are these little things that came with the kids car seats. They never seemed to have a purpose for us...surely some need them but I had no use for them. We kept them and the other day I knocked a box of stuff down in the garage and rediscovered them. Its the black thing in this pic. I have four from four seats so thats just right. I cut two out and you see one there...and one at the bottom in use

Not sure I will use them but its kinda nice to find justification in not throwing anything away

Its part of a seatbelt system and its pretty thick...I'd say 12, maybe 10 gauge steel. I imagine its probably pretty stout. Its not really cut to the purpose here...its a little wide on the open part. The closed loop is just fine though.

Not sure I will even use them really since its just as easy to feed the loose end back through the loop but I did feel a little justified in my collection of random parts of random crap

If you were actually going to use them, it would seem to make more sense to sow it onto the webbing so you couldn't loose it. Might be really nice for backyard hang between the same two trees all the time. 10-15 second setup time.

Yeah, I though about that but leaving them loose gives me more options with them and the straps.
